Looking back, I posted a question to the wrong group. Oops! Can I love the entire thread? Anyways....

Here's my dilemma. I have no capital. I have the promise of equity and stock options.

Question: do I start looking for investors so I can afford salaries or can I promise equity (no more than 5% per with a no greater loss of 20% between all)?
